This is possibly a dense question but I'm going to ask it anyway. According to the 1946 Data Book, the Clipper 6 is supposed to have the gauges set in "bright chrome with separating panels of silver grey".

I see pink-beige plastic.

Did Packard come out with an all-plastic looking dashboard in '47, or did the chrome peel off leaving the plastic?

Is the Data book in error?

I've seen more than one example of a Clipper with the plastic exposed. Just curious.
